Theatre show explores the mental anguish of waiting for a return phone call

This weekend, six theatre performers will be waiting for the phone to ring and for someone to be there for them. They are having a bad day, and being confined to their bedroom isn’t doing them any favours. Will you pick up the phone and lend them a listening ear?

Or you could also choose not to call.
